    A Knowledge Graph of Common Chemical Names to their Molecular Definition

  • > Mine is organized in such a way data can be found easily and categorized.

    I do not know what this means.

    It's very easy to find compounds in PubChem or ChemSpider.

    I didn't see how to find, say, 1,3,7-Trimethylxanthine in your system.

    As far as I can tell, it requires using the no-cost version of ChemDraw to convert the name into a structure and then ... do what?

    > My lists are abstracted from expertise who and what resource so folk can trace easily.

    How is this different than what ChemSpider does? They also offer "Manual comment and correction tools offer crowdsourced curation with expert review" and "You are invited to help build this community for chemists by contributing your structures, spectra, or syntheses. You can also actively participate in the curation of the data; registration enables you to become a depositor or curator." (quoting https://www.chemspider.com/AboutUs.aspx ).

    Is the main difference that you organize things by lists?

    In that case, couldn't you save a lot of effort by being an overlay into ChemSpider? Let them handle the chemical entry, name validation, property prediction, and so on.

    > I also wrote a lot of tooling for analysis and other things you can use to analyze the data yourself to get an idea of the functional groups and diversity.

    I didn't see any of that tooling from your site.

    What is your measure of "diversity"?

    Could you elaborate on your internal naming scheme for compounds? For example, https://github.com/Sulstice/global-chem/blob/ec4a5cb28a6360c... has:

                'haloalkane': 'CBr',
